Senior Accountant job ACA ACCA ATT Surrey Guildford

Your new company
This isn’t your average accountancy practice. They don’t just “serve clients”—they build long-term relationships based on trust, service, and results. Their client portfolio is proof of that.
They’re a tight-knit team of 15 who genuinely enjoy working together. No corporate fluff, just a collaborative environment where people get on, get stuck in, and get the job done. .

Your new role
You’ll take ownership of a varied portfolio of clients—ranging in size and sector—and be the go-to person for their accounts and tax needs. You’ll:
  • Prepare and submit accounts and tax returns for Sole Traders, Partnerships, and Limited Companies.
  • Communicate with clients across phone, email, social media, and face-to-face—yes, they like to keep it personal.
  • Onboard new clients and integrate them into your portfolio smoothly.
  • Plan and optimise tax efficiency for clients—because good advice is what keeps them coming back.
  • Liaise with HMRC to resolve queries and keep things running smoothly.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll be trusted to manage your time, your clients, and your outcomes.

What you'll need to succeed
You’ll be ACA, ACCA, or ATT qualified (or equivalent), with at least 5 years of practice experience.You’ll also need:
  • Strong communication skills—you’ll be client-facing and portfolio-owning.
  • The ability to manage your workload without hand-holding.
  • A proactive mindset and a genuine interest in helping clients succeed.
What you'll get in return
  • A salary of up to
    £55,000, depending on experience.
  • Flexible working, including
    2 days from home.
  • A supportive, down-to-earth team that values your input and your time.
